Apparently, this is one of those “flashmob” things, where “young” sport bikers take over a busy stretch of road, close it down, and then do stupid stunts for a while. Then, they all go separate ways to avoid the police. It happened in Dallas not too long ago. The one in Dallas “may” be related to a biker death, but the lure of the 15-minute fame on YouTube may trigger stupid behavior by other idiots in other places.http://www.wfaa.com/news/crime/Bikers-take-over-of-Central-Expressway-spurs-police-response-concerns-123142588.html
Probably will happen a few more times, then fade away after a while. May fade away sooner if someone gets killed.

Hi, I have scoured your site and cannot find a contact form, email address or any way to contact with you! Please get in touch and explain what I am missing, I want to pay for something.
Thanks and regards,

What is this nonsense now? I can understand a flash mob – a bunch of maniacs start dancing in public. Clogging a highway is a different thing entirely. Motorcyclists as a group do not need help convincing the general public that we are a group of degenerate morons. The overarching opinion has been getting better over the years, and now this kind of crap starts? No thanks, count me out.

I agree, Dale. My Dodge Magnum vs. motorcycle trying to run me off road means motorcycle loses. Not to mention that if they endanger one of my family members they’ll have to deal with the .45 I carry in the console as well.

This sort of stupidity is what causes some cops to make assumptions about all riders, not to mention the general public deciding they don’t have to share the road with us because some squids decide to try to own it outright. I’ve done stupid stuff on my bike and I’m no saint, but at least I make sure the only life I endanger is my own. These guys are juts punks that need a good beating to make up for all the spankings they apparently missed out on when they were kids..

Are you serious?
No, you can’t be serious. You must be kidding. You’re kidding, right? I wouldn’t wish a motorcycle accident on my worst enemy, let alone threaten to mow someone down on a bike. Do you even ride much???

Deadly serious. If you try to run me off the road in your motorcycle, then you deserve to suffer the consequences. I have no sympathy for you at all. I have no obligation whatsoever to you in that situation. You wanna play that game on a motorcycle, then you’re too stupid to live. It’s better for everyone if you get taken out of the gene pool, hopefully before you reproduce.

And yes, I ride. Every. Single. Day.

You know what I don’t do? I don’t intentionally pit my motorcycle against drivers in 5,000 lb automobiles.

If a kitten walked into me, I wouldn’t go out of my way to kick it, but I would stay on my course.
That’s what we are as motorcyclists to cagers. There will always be idiots giving us a bad reputation. Running them down isn’t the solution. It’s pretty over dramatic.

Didn’t say I’d go out of my way to run anybody down. But somebody who’s trying to run me off the road is the aggressor. What part of that do you not get?
